An 18-inch wide gas pipeline that passes through Sector 93A may delay the demolition process of twin towers at Supertech’s Emerald Court project due to safety reasons.
Officials from Edifice Engineering, which got the job of demolition of the twin towers, Supertech Limited, and the Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) held a meeting on Friday and discussed the need to shift the gas pipeline, which is three metres deep from the ground level, officials of Edifice said on Sunday, adding that the pipeline is just 16 metres away from the twin towers.
“We had a meeting with GAIL and Supertech to discuss the technical modalities on Friday. We have realised that demolishing the two towers without taking care of gas pipeline is not possible. Therefore, we have decided that we will submit a technical report on how the vibrations of demolition will make damages to gas pipeline in the next 15 days to GAIL. And then the GAIL will tell us how we can handle these vibrations and carry out demolition without any damage to the pipeline,” said Utkarsh Mehta of Edifice Engineering.
